Mary Ann, thanks for your reply. I don't have a date for one of my person's. The other is just a date from a tombstone and I have a little notice from the Aurora Beacon News. It is only a notice that my person died and does not give any detail of survivors. If you would want to look for an obit for him I would most gladly pay you. The person was Peter Linden, the date of the notice was Nov. 23,. If you find an obit I would love to have it. Thank you for your help.
